Physical Custody- is one of the most common types of child custody. Once a parent is granted physical custody of a child by a court, this means that the parent has the right to have the child live with him or her.

Legal Custody- this means that the parent has the legal authority to make decisions about the child’s education. The parent with the legal custody of a child will have the authority to decide which school to send the child to, which religion the child will practice, and what sorts of the medical care the child will receive.

Sole Custody– is often awarded in a divorce proceeding when it can be shownthat one parent is unfit to be a parent, often due to financial, drug or alcohol problems.

Joint Custody– it can be joint legal custody and joint physical custody, or both joint legal and physical custody. It is pretty common for them to share joint legal custody as well.
